"Honesty is still the best policy......
...... but with a little bit of common sense!"

तमन्ना

लहलहाती चहचहाती आए बसंत

कली का जन्म, सूखे का अंत

हर ओर मुझे है समृद्धि परोसना

कहो बेटे क्या है तेरी तमन्ना?

हे बसंत! नव्य, निरंतर और अनंत

कर दो द्वेष, रक्त-पात का अंत

तेरी छाया में है नयापन पनपना

क्या पूरी करोगे मेरी तमन्ना?

स्वर्ण रथ सज्जित ग्रीष्म आए

सारा जग धुप में नहाए

हर ओर मुझे है धुप बिखरना

कहो बेटे, क्या है तेरी तमन्ना?

हे ग्रीष्म! ऋतू भीष्म तथा सहन

जग के रोगों का हो दहन

हर ओर उज्जवल प्रकाश है देखना

क्या पूरी करोगे मेरी तमन्ना?

कडकडाती गरजती आए वर्षा

दुखडे और प्यासे को है तराशा

हर प्राणी की है मुझे प्यास बुझाना

कहो बेटे, क्या है तेरी तमन्ना?

हे वर्षा! तू सबको है हर्षित करती

सूखे में हरियाली बरसाती

हर ओर मुझे प्रेम है सींचना

क्या पूरी करोगे, मेरी तमन्ना?

ऋतू श्रेष्ट शरद, शिशिर व हेमंत

हर जीवन का हो हर्ष अनंत

सिखानी है हर नन्हे को बंसी बजाना

क्या पूरी करोगे मेरी तमन्ना?

A happy childrens' day to all the children of the World.... for the children by age, by heart, by habit, by innocence or by their essence.

"Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving & tolerant of the weak & wrong. Because sometime in our lives we would have been these ourselves"

- Lloyd S

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

The clock ticks 5:30 a.m. After bristles clean up the thirty two, we open up to the news of the World and what do we see? The usual political infidelities, financial bull runs, economic meltdowns, thefts, loss of lives, strikes, lockouts and so and so forth….

Oops!! What a World? We pick up the glass of milk and get perplexed – What kind of adulteration is this? Is milk adulterated or is the water?? We get ready and get behind the four wheels but soon realize that those four wheels are standstill similar to several others at the traffic jam. Till we accelerate, we take Government and its infrastructure policies to task. We drive through undeveloped suburbs of the city and what do we see? Wastes, littered articles and dregs throughout the pavement and the streets mobbed by rag pickers and animals alike. We also drive through (so called) roads tackling knee-deep potholes. We lose no time in screaming ‘Why does the Government think we pay the tax?’

Finally we reach our office. The lines which have already made their presence on our foreheads multiply both in number and intensity. The same job, same files, same clients, same colleagues and sometimes same salary! – ‘Oh God! Give me the change. Everyone around me is the same!!!’ – We yell.

Yes! Change is required. But is it required around us or within us? It is said that beauty of the World is in the eye of the beholder. The World is as beautiful as we see it and as we make it. The reverse is also true. When we take birth, we are totally helpless in all aspects. The World around us, the society makes us as strong and as able as we are today. Don’t we owe anything to society? We litter the streets, we adulterate, we, either directly or indirectly, are responsible for political and economic destabilization. We are the traffic jam. It’s we who refuse to serve in rural health sector. The World around us reflects what we are. Is this how we pay the debt to the society?

Our heart generally resists change. We want to see the changes happening in the world. But why can’t we be the change which we wish to see in the World? The only thing required is the change in our attitude. As William James of Harvard University fame said ‘The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.’

Why doesn’t every one of us take initiative and build the World brick by brick? 1% contribution by 1000 of us can improve our Earth by 1000%, an enormous improvement indeed! We need to find happiness in the work we do.
‘A duty which becomes a desire will ultimately become a delight’ – George Gritter.

Having money and being rich are entirely different. Many people have loads of money but they are very poor (at heart). Helen Keller puts it this way – ‘The best and most beautiful things in the World cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.’

Now that we prepare and condition ourselves to do our bit to the society, there opens up many ways to do so. Working out our day-to-day activities in a manner which isolates the negativities of life should be our prime motto. The wealthy upper class can adopt a village each and through public private partnership improve the condition of the village. The PURA scheme, strongly advocated by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalaam and the projects of the like are certainly helpful in strengthening the rural society. Today, the doctors are least interested in serving the rural class but we have no qualms in commenting about the rural health conditions. What an irony! If every doctor here serves in villages for just a fortnight based on a systematized rotation scheme, there is no doubt in rising heath index of villages and on the other hand, the future of budding doctors is also secured. Micro-assistance on a macro scale makes a BIG difference.
‘Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible’
-St. Francis of Alsisi.

Spreading general awareness about the adulteration, denouncing corruption at every step, a healthy interaction with Government, questioning its ambiguous policies, following traffic rules and lane discipline, keeping the surroundings clean, helping the poor and the needy in such a way that they stand on their own feet, returning a smile to the customer, injecting an air of freshness and enjoyment in the work environment, maintaining cordial relationship with our family, friends and well-wishers certainly helps us enjoy our life to its fullest.

We have to be the volunteer for the benefit of the society. It not only builds self worth but also provides us a healthy personality. Just being alive isn’t a great thing. We have to ‘live’ while we are alive. We should prefer wearing out rather than rusting out. Shiv Khera puts it in a beautiful way – ‘To have nothing to carry’ is life’s heaviest burden'

It’s not that we lose something by serving the needy or rejuvenating the society. The best thing about doing good is that it always has a way of returning to the doer. Ralph Waldo Emerson says – ‘It is one of the most beautiful compensation of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.’

Suppose you are stuck in midst of a water current, in a deep river, gasping for breath. You are about to drown. You want to save yourselves but don’t know how to swim. You are desperate! You don’t want to die. You have your own dreams and goals. There is a man on the river bank who jumps in and after a great effort, manages to save you. You take a deep breath. Now, think! Is your life worth saving? Can your life bring an innocent smile on someone’s face? Can your life be the torch that’s lights up and brightens someone’s life?
It’s left to you. It’s left to us.
‘No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.’
-Calvin Coolige.
